I would like to hire a Translator

$30-250 USD

$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I need around 25 short poems and 150 sentences translated into English. The first 25 poems have already been translated by myself, but I have decided to have a native Speaker translate it because there are some expressions that cannot be translated literally, and I need creativity to convey the same - or to the possible extent - expression and feeling. Even though you do not have to translate the first 25 poems, I do expect for the freelancer to read it and propose changes using the tracking tool. The total amount of words is 3,000 including the 25 poems and the 150 sentences (in form of questions). The work will still go through my editor primarily to check for typos, grammar, syntax and format since it has to be ready to print in one week. The category of poetry is, to put it simple, romance. I do expect a freelancer with strong analysis and critical thinking abilities and not only a translator excelling in linguistics. The verses in Spanish have been thoroughly revised and they must not be interpreted lightly in the cases where it may result hard to understand - it's pretty straight forward but nothing is written out nowhere. All the verses have a purpose and meaning, so the freelancer must be able to read it, understand it, feel it and then throw it out in English. It's a tough job, but I feel I have done fairly in translating the first 25 poems so that you can get a grasp of the idea behind what is expected from the translation. Anyways, if you have any additional questions, please let me know. The freelancer will receive credit for the translation, which will be printed in over 9 marketplaces including the United States, Mexico, Argentina and Cuba. The budget is limited, I expect a rate per word. This is also a good opportunity to potentialize your portfolio, which in the long run may be more beneficial. Thank you all!
